“Security Forces Launch Major Operation in Kathua’s Hiranagar Sector After Terrorist Movement Reported! A Fierce Gunfight Erupts as Armed Men Are Spotted in Fields; Area Is Now Completely Surrounded – Casualties and Identities Still Unconfirmed!”
“On Sunday, a fierce encounter erupted between security forces and suspected terrorists in the Hiranagar sector of Jammu and Kashmir’s Kathua district, following intelligence reports of terrorist activity in the region. Sources revealed that security forces initiated a large-scale search operation in Hiranagar’s Manyal area after receiving credible information about the terrorists’ presence. Ongoing exchanges of gunfire have been reported, with initial reports suggesting that two to three militants have been trapped by the forces. However, there are indications that four to five terrorists may have entered the area.”
“The operation escalated after a local couple allegedly saw armed individuals while working in their fields and swiftly notified security forces. In response, a joint team of Border Security Force (BSF), Indian Army, and Jammu and Kashmir Police swiftly sealed off the area and initiated an extensive search operation.”
“According to sources, intelligence agencies had recently issued warnings about potential infiltration attempts in the region, leading to increased security measures. The operation is still underway, with the area under constant monitoring. As of now, authorities have not released any official statements regarding the encounter or the exact number of militants involved.”
“Officials confirmed that additional reinforcements have been deployed to the location, with further details yet to be disclosed. Earlier, security forces initiated a joint search operation after observing ‘suspicious movement’ in the Sangla area of Surankot, Poonch district, as reported by ANI. The operation was carried out by the Indian Army’s Romeo Forces in collaboration with the Poonch Police. In a separate development, a terrorist hideout was discovered in a remote forest area of Doda district, Jammu and Kashmir, where authorities recovered a pistol and ammunition, according to PTI reports on Sunday.”
